Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

This day is going to be heartbreaking for all involved. Although I think the most realistic part of this day is that Radiohead/GY!BE/Mangum don't conflict. I think on a day with so many acts, these seem like the three that GV will make sure you can see. Everything else is...depressing. Seeing my two top daytime Saturday acts (Black Lips and A$AP Rocky) at night is soul crushing just because it makes so much sense. Makes my already tough choices harder...

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

I think Guetta will play the main stage after Radiohead. I know it seems silly to think Radiohead wouldn't be the last artist, but I don't think that matters as much as people think. Guetta played to about 60,000 people at EDC, he's way too big for the Sahara. I think Radiohead will still get the longest main stage set, but Guetta will close.

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

Guetta played the Sahara last time he was at Coach (09 I think), and I can't imagine him closing the Main after Radiohead. The Kasabian at midnight slot seems super weird to me. I'd guess a late afternoon slot - somewhere between 4-6. Mojave or Outdoor seem like a likely landing spot, or maybe they follow the Kaiser Chiefs on the main.

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

Kasabian shouldn't conflict with Radiohead.

It's not really about that, it's just about Coachella following their habit of putting their huge electronic act on after the main stage headliner. I don't really see the problem as long as Radiohead is given the longest set. I can't fucking stand Guetta, it's just an opinion.

Which they will. On Friday. With Swedish House Mafia after Black Keys.

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

I would swap Borgore with Destructo. Destructo is a local LA dj with really not much in the way of production, he'll get the earliest sahara slot, Borgore is much bigger and he has many wellknown productions in the dubstep scene

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

The heartbreak of this day is inevitable, but there are so many more conflicts on this one than on the ones posted in the other forum... The Shins Vs. St. Vincent? Andrew Bird Vs. Destroyer? Dear god, let these not happen. Also, Kasabian vs. Radiohead is awful. I also see Kasabian taking a mainstage mid-late afternoon set.

Re: Set Time Predictions - SATURDAY

Kasabian is probably not going to conflict with Radiohead. I put them there thinking maybe they could still draw a crowd against Radiohead(?)
But seeing as how they are fellow brits, and both HUGE (apparently), Kasabian should move.
Should they go where Kaiser Chiefs are now? I sort of figured they'd be playing at night.

I am as conflicted as you. I do see Kasabian as a great night band, but I also see them as a big stage band. I would love to see, and think it could be very realistic, to move Grace Potter off to a tent stage somewhere, and then have the coachella stage go

Suedehead -> The Vaccines -> The Kaiser Chiefs -> Kasabian

Essentially moving Kasabian into the Kaiser Chiefs spot. Then maybe swap Noel Gallagher and Feist? Those two stages would flow really well then. My two cents.

This could work or you could even put The Vaccines on the outdoor early in the day.

I actually think it might work for you to simply swap Kasabian for Kaiser Chiefs; KC make more sense to close the mojave than Kasabian IMO, Kasabian should probably be on main stage..

Considering how (arguably) similar these two bands are, in terms of both their sound and the era they came up in, I doubt they will follow one another closely on the same stage... ppl in the beer gardens might think the same band was playing again lol.

I also don't think you should worry about 'fellow brits' playing at the same time, this has never been a factor in the set times...
